New Mi A1 Smartphone Spotted on Xiaomi’s Official Website

You are reading a story from PhoneRadar.

Xiaomi currently sells the high-end smartphones under the Mi series and the affordable smartphones through the Redmi series. Now, the company might announce a new smartphone called Mi A1 under the Mi series. The Mi A1 smartphone with the model number MDG2 is listed on the RF exposure page on the Xiaomi’s official website. The MDG2 was earlier spotted on benchmarking websites. It was then reported to be the Mi 5X and interestingly, the Mi 5X is also missing on this list. The MDG2 smartphone also received the FCC certification in July this year.

As of now, there is no other information about the Mi A1 smartphone. Recently, Xiaomi has announced to launch a new smartphone with dual rear cameras in India. While the company skipped launching the flagship Mi 6 smartphone in India, the Mi 5X is the only other newly launched device to feature dual camera setup. The company is yet to reveal the name of its upcoming dual camera smartphone in India and my wild guess is that, the company will launch the Mi 5X as Mi A1 in India with few changes.

The Mi 5X sports metal built unibody design and is currently available for just 1299 Yuan (approx Rs. 12,500) in China. Talking about the specifications, it sports a 5.5-inch display with Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution. It is powered by a 64-bit Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor clocked at up to 2GHz and comes coupled with Adreno 506 GPU. The device comes with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal storage. It runs on the latest MIUI 9 based on Android 7.0 Nougat. The fingerprint sensor is placed on the rear of the device.

It features a 12MP dual-lens camera on the rear and a 5MP selfie camera on the front. Since there is no home button, the device comes with capacitive navigation buttons. Unlike the Mi 6, the Mi 5X offers MicroSD card slot and 3.5mm audio jack. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, and USB Type-C port. It is backed by a 3,080mAh non-removable battery and supports fast charging with the5V/2A (10W) power adapter. It measures 155.4 x 75.8 x 7.3 mm and weighs 165 grams.

Next week, the company is launching the selfie-focused Redmi Note 5A smartphone with a 16MP front camera in China. Stay tuned on Phone Radar for more details about the upcoming Xiaomi smartphones!
